It’ time for another video on cartooning!  (Sorry for the funky lighting.)

I’m in a makeshift studio for the time being.  I didn’t want o move my main computer in just yet. So, i decided to grab the spare computer box out of the attic and use it instead. I added an extra gig of memory (2 gigs no) , and a Wi-fi card.  I then installed […]

My brothers love to fish.  My nephews and nieces love to fish.  Me?  Well, I like to fish, too.  But, mostly, I like cartooning fish.  I guess it’s because you can make each fish a unique character by changing it’s fins, eyes, tail, etc.  You can play with the lines and, really, that’s what cartooning is all […]

Sometimes, I […]

This way, the image would still look good enough for the web and render a smaller file size allowing for a quicker upload. I figured out a makeshift tablet stand of […]

The computer has been a tremendous help in the studio.  It’s my cartoon assistant, bookkeeper, research assistant, etc. However, the really big advantage with my computer is having  it run Linux. The Linux operating system has allowed me to implement some really terrific software programs. (Not to mention that it’s more stable and secure then […]
